And YHWH said to Yehoshua, 'Do not be afraid of their presence, for tomorrow about this time I am giving all of them over to Yisra'el, slain. Hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.'

And Yehoshua, and all the soldiers with him, came against them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and they fell on them.

And YHWH gave them into the hand of Yisra'el, and they smote them and pursued them to Great Tsidon, and to Misrephoth Mayim, and to the Valley of Mitspeh eastward. And they smote them until no survivor was left to them.

And Yehoshua captured all the cities of those sovereigns, and all their sovereigns, and he smote them with the edge of the sword. He put them under the ban, as Mosheh the servant of YHWH commanded.

However, Yisra'el did not burn any cities that stood on their mounds, but Yehoshua burned only Hatsor.

And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock, the children of Yisra'el took as booty for themselves. But they smote every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they did not leave anyone breathing.

Yehoshua fought with all those sovereigns for a long time.

There was not a city that made peace with the children of Yisra'el, except the Hiwwites, the inhabitants of Gib'on. All the others they took in battle.

For it was of YHWH to harden their hearts, that they should come against Yisra'el in battle, in order to put them under the ban, so that they might have no favour, but that He might annihilate them, as YHWH had commanded Mosheh.

And at that time Yehoshua came and cut off the Anaqim from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Yehudah, and from all the mountains of Yisra'el. Yehoshua put them with their cities under the ban.

There were none of the Anaqim left in the land of the children of Yisra'el; only in Azzah, in Gath, and in Ashdod some remained.

Thus Yehoshua took the entire land, according to all that YHWH had said to Mosheh. And Yehoshua gave it as an inheritance to Yisra'el according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from fighting.
